aramike Posted March 20, 2001 Report Posted March 20, 2001 Post technical difficulties with your sound while running BCM here.This thread is not for opinions on sound or music - tech issues only, please.
Kurt Meyer Posted March 20, 2001 Report Posted March 20, 2001 So far the only problem I have with the underlying sound system is that on Live cards there is definantly a latency issue and some sounds are not being played at times or cutting out. For now I am doing what the FAQ says and running the card on basic settings. It did help a bit but there is definantly still room for improvement.
Joel Schultz Posted March 20, 2001 Report Posted March 20, 2001 The volume envelope max on my machine (particularly for the music) seemed to be way way down (I have a Turtle Beach Santa Cruz, BTW). To fix that I had to go out to my desktop and crank the master volume up (to the point where a regular Windows "ding" was just shy of being deafening) just so I could hear the music clearly (I like it kinda loud ).In my experience, Turtle Beach cards tend to be somewhat quieter (either that or my speaker system doesn't have a strong enough amp, though it was much louder for a junky old ISA card I had), so I'm wondering if the volume adjustment in BCM could have its max boosted some for those of us whose cards tend to be quieter than normal. ------------------ Cmdr Alan Mach GCV Cavanagh
Guest Fuse Posted March 20, 2001 Report Posted March 20, 2001 I've noticed chopped sounds on a SB live to. Sometimes it doesn't even play them. Most noticeable when you fire the falward lazers, it only seems to play a sound 1 in every 3-4 shots.[This message has been edited by Fuse (edited 03-20-2001).]

Guest Fuse Posted March 20, 2001 Report Posted March 20, 2001 Tried that, makes a slight difference but its not a cure
